BELT FOR PERSONAL WEAR.

Application filed May 28, 1926. Serial No. 112,254.

consists of certain parts and combinations of parts, all of which will be hereinafter described; the novel features being pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a face view of a belt constructed in accordance with this invention;

Fig. 2 is an edge view of the belt;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the lbelt; and

Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on the line 4 4, Fig. 3.

In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, there is provided a body member 1 formed of canvas or other heavy material in strip form. The opposite faces of this body member are coated with an adhesive. One face of this body member 1 is covered by a strip v2 of thin textile fabric such, for instance, as silk. The edges of this covering piece are turned inwardly at 3 about the edges of the strip 1 to overlay the stripvl on the opposite face of the latter. Between the inturned edges 3 ofthe thin strip 2, an ornamenting strip 4 is positioned which may be of any suitable material. In this instance. this strip is an ornamented silk piece. The piece 4, the piece 1 and the piece 2 are so arranged that thev may be fed through a machine which will lay the strip 4 and the strip 2 on opposite sides of the strip 1 and will, at the same time, turn the edges of the strip 2 about the edges of the strip l, the adhesive on the strip 1 holding these pieces together so that they pass fromthe assembling machine properly united. Two facing .strips 5 of leather or other suitable material are then applied to the front side o f the structure thus provided so as to cover the joints between the inturned edges 8 of the p1ece2 and the edges of the strip or piece4, the piece 5 being stitched preferably in two lines of stitching 6 and7, one line passing through the piece 5, the edge of the strip 4, the piece 1 and the main portion of the piece 2, and

the other line 7 of stitching passing through a strip 5, the inturned edge 3, the body 1 near the edge of the latter, andy the main portion of the strip 2. These two strips 5 preferably have their outer edges coincident with the outer edges of the covering 2, entirely covering the inturned portions 3 and at their inner edges covering the edges of the strip 4. It will thus be seen that when the belt is viewed from the front the leather strips 5 and the silk ornamenting portion 4 will be the only parts visible, thus providing a belt which is ornamental in appearance and at the same time simulating a leather construction. An end piece 8 may be provided formed of leather and split at one end to provide two lips 9 between which the main portion of the belt is introduced and is secured by a line of stitching 10. This end piece may be provided with openings 11 for the reception of the tongue of a buckle. The buckle, in this instance, is what is known to the trade as a tonguebuckle, as illustrated at 12, its cross bar 13 being held within a loop having two portions 14 lying on opposite sides of the opposite end of the belt structure and secured to the latter by the stitches 15.

What I claim as my invent-ion and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. A belt for, personal wear comprising a body piece, a covering piece covering the rear face of the body piece and turned at its opposite edges over the inner face of the lbody piece, an ornamenting strip arranged between the inturned edges of the covering piece, and facing strips secured over the inturned edges ofthe covering piece andthe edges of the ornamenting strip.

2. A.belt forl personal wear comprising a -body strip, a covering strip covering the rear face of the body strip and having its edges turned over the inner ,face of said lbody strip, two facing strips` covering the turned edges ofthe covering piece, and orna.

menting means interposed between the two facinr strips. ,i

3. belt for ersonal wear comprising a body strip provided with an adhesive on opposite faces thereof, a covering piece covering the rear face of the body strip and having its opposite edges turned over the Y inner face of saidbody strip, said covering strip being'held tothe body strip by the adhesive, two facing strips covering the inturned edges of the covering strip and spaced apart, and an ornamenting means interposed in the space between the edges of the facing strips.

4. A belt for personal wear comprising a body strip provided with adhesive on 0pposite sides thereof, a covering strip covering the rear face of lsaid body strip and having its edges turned over the inner ,face of said body strip, said covering strip being held to the front and rear faces of the body strip by the adhesive, an ornainenting strip held by the adhesive to the inner face of the body strip between the inturned edges of the covering strip, two facin strips having their adjacent edges spaced: apart, said facing strips covering the joints betweenlthe inturned edges of the covering strip and the edges of the ornamenting strip, and two rows of stitching passing through each facing strip, one passing through each facing strip, one passing through the ornamenting strip, the body strip and the covering strip, and the other passing through. an inturned edge of the covering strip, the body strip andthe main portion of the covering strip.

5. A belt for personal wear comprisinga body strip, a cover strip covering the rear face of the body strip and having its edges turned over the inner face of the body strip,

strips having their adjacent edges spaced' apart opposite the ornamenting strip and covering the joints between the ornamenting strip and the inturned edges of the covering strip.

6, Avbelt for personal wear comprising a body strip having adhesive on the inner ,faceV thereof, an ornamenting strip of less width than the body strip, two facing strips having their outer edges substantially coincident with the outer edge of the body strip', and their inner edges extending over the edges of the ornamenting strip and spaced apart to expose such ornamenting strip, and two rows of stitching for securing a facing strip to the body strip, one passing through a facing strip near the inner edge of the latter and also through the ornamenting strip and the body strip, Aand the other passing through a facing strip near the outer edge of the latterA and through the body strip.
